The Love of my life..

I love you..



Its been almost (but not quite) a year since I've posted anything on my blogs.. Not that I do not have anything to say.. In fact, its just the opposite! (rapid myriad thoughts ricochet within the confines of my brain, akin to electrons in an atom!)

So why don't I write? Not for want of anything to say, not for laziness....

One reason is that it feels so very self-centered to keep talking of oneself..I woke up, I slept, I ate..and so on and so forth..

I am but lesser than a minuscule speck in this Universe..
tinier than a grain of sand on a sea shore..
as invisible as a puff of smoke in the vast sky..
here now, gone the next moment..

Another, and more important reason is.. I'm soaking in the presence of the One I love.. I simply cannot stop thinking, reading, seeking, searching, exploring all I can about my love.. yes, these days I am falling deeper and deeper in love.. such a wonderful, deep, thrilling and awesome love, that I cannot even begin to describe it..

My world revolves around my love.. everything I do, all that I do not do, every single waking moment of my life.. I desire only my sweet awesome wonderful love..


who never lets me down,


who never fails me,
who is there to pick me up when I fall,
who is there to fill me up when I am dry,
who is there to comfort me when I am sad,
who is there by my side.. always.. always.. every moment.. all the time..
who cries when I do.. who seeks to wipe my every tear,
who took my filthy sins upon his blemishless self, and covered me with his righteousness..
whose back was opened upto his ribs for me, and gave me healing from all my pain instead..



who gladly wore a crown of thorns for my sake, and smiling put the crown of eternal life on my head..
who bore the nails in his palms, on his feet, whose side was pierced.. so I could be free..
free of every curse .. free from the wages of sin.. free from eternal hell..
who gave his all for my sake..




Oh what greater love can anyone seek?
my savior, my lord, my king...

JESUS.... I LOVE YOU

To my Blessed King and Saviour



A vine planted in Thy garden Lord,
my heart turns towards Thy loving warmth
Thou soakest me in the rain of Thy deep love
richly nourishing every leaf and twig
my roots hold on fast to Thy blessed promises
as Thou do nurture me with Thy Living Word
in Thy grace and presence my Lord
under Thy loving protection do I thrive
my leafy branches give cooling shade
my fruit is sweet and filling
Lord Jesus, My God and King of my life,
I give Thee all glory, honor and praise
times Thou prune my branches
make me sprightly and upright
Thou grafteth me Lord on Thy healthy trunk
Thy worship and praise is the purpose of my life

The true spirit of Christmas joy and love..


Christmas celebrations for kids means holidays, lots of sweets, new clothes, decorations, festivity, enjoyment and fun all around! Kids enjoy decorating the Christmas tree with all sorts of trinkets and baubles...However, this Christmas the tree I saw is one that wins prizes hands down and shall remain etched in my heart forever...

Can you imagine a ten year old European girl decorating a Christmas tree? I am sure everyone would agree that such a tree would indeed be a sight to behold... However, the one that tugged at my heartstrings was a rather unique and imaginative one..

This little kid of European descent had stuffed a dried up tree branch in an old discarded plastic mineral water bottle. She had filled the bottle with pebbles to hold the branch upright. Now, the branch too had been selected with great care... The smaller twigs of this particular branch were spread out and looked much like a real tree.. The kid had then drawn small shapes in her blue and red lined school notebook, crudely cut it out with her fingers (for want of a scissor) and colored it with crayons. The entire tree was thus decorated with imaginative decorations. There were also used and shiny sweet wrappers twisted into shapes and hung on the tree.. An old dirty tiny sock had found a place on the tree too.. But the place of price was taken up by a pretty little fairy, again hand crafted by the little girl...

This little tree was unique like the little girl because I met her in prison where we had gone for a visit as part of our church activities. She had been living there all her life along with her mother. Yet, her sense of enjoyment,. her spirit of joy and life put us all to shame. This little girl not only ran to get her 'tree' but also got a treasured packet of cream biscuits which she then broke into half and offered to all..

Oh what a lesson this little girl taught us....

My Wonderful Provider



What with all the festivities and celebrations and birthdays and shopping... it was the end of the month.. and I had no money... The Spirit of God said... The Lord shall provide... and by faith I waited for a few days.. wanting nothing.. all my needs and wants provided... but.. being human... gave birth to Ishmael... borrowed 500 bucks..

Deuteronomy 15:6
For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not
borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

However, the very next day... Saturday night.. something prompted me to look in my laptop bag.. and a thought came to mind.. what if I find a 500 Rupee note? That would be a miracle of God.. for I never keep money in my laptop bag.. and sure enough.. .in the inner most pocket of the laptop bag.. there was a folded envelope with 600 rupees in it!

When did I keep it in? How did I forget about it? How did I go and search just there just then????

Matthew 21:22 : And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

If only we believe and trust... Our God is a Mighty God!!

2 Samuel 22:31
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that
trust in him.

Lost and Found


The most amazing thing happened to me just now.

I do not like wearing any jewelery at home, so I take off my ear-rings, two gold rings and my gold plated Titan Raga watch, (totally costing more than 10k), thread the rings in the watch, close the clasp and put them in my purse.
Today morning as I walked into our work premises, I took out my identity card along with the watch & rings and after walking a few paces realized that the watch and rings had fallen from my grasp and were not with me. I looked in my purse, to see if I had absentmindedly kept them back, and then went back and checked all the way that I had walked, but no, there was nothing.

I then walked to my department and work desk, which is about four minute walking distance from the main gate and emptied the contents of my purse. Again I drew a blank. I even started doubting if I had the watch and rings with me!! I then went and swiped my card and decided to go back and re-check.

However, I walked all the way back to the main gate without finding anything, and I noticed that there were about four cleaners were work, sweeping and cleaning up the very road! I then went and reported the loss to the Head of Security who was doubtful that the stuff could be found. He was of the opinion that there were a lot of employees / contractors / vehicle drivers etc moving about that area, and hence I better forget about finding the stuff.

As I left his cabin and re-traced my steps to my department, I said, "Lord, you have promised not to allow the devourer to rob and steal from your faithful children!" And immediately from a distance of about 25 feet, I saw the items in question lying plonk in the middle of the road, shining away for all to see... Wow!! What am amazing Father I have!

With a grateful heart I thank you God, thank you Jesus, for restoring to me what I lost.. Glory to our God. Praise His Holy name!

The Lord God Almighty asks us to seek the Holy face of God, to pray to Him, to repent for our sins, to pray and He promises to forgive and heal us.

Jeremiah 8: 4-22

Sin and Punishment

"Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: 'When men fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return?

5 Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.

6 I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Each pursues his own course like a horse charging into battle.

7 Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.

8 'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?

9 The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?

10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.

11 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace.

12 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD.

13 'I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them. ‘

14 "Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there! For the LORD our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.

15 We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.

16 The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there."

17 "See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you," declares the LORD.

18 O my Comforter [b] in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.

19 Listen to the cry of my people from a land far away: "Is the LORD not in Zion? Is her King no longer there?" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their worthless foreign idols?"

20 "The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved."

21 Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn, and horror grips me.

22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?


Forgiveness and healing

2 Chronicles 7:14

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Isaiah 58:6-11

6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice, and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free, and break every yoke?

7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness [a] will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,

10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry, and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.

11 The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Love you so much Dad...

WOW!!
I got the best dad in the whole world!...
He loves me JUST as I am.. With all my imperfections and faults..
He is so very generous and good to me! He fulfils every desire that wells up in my heart.. albeit, at times, in His good time.. for He knows what is best for me..

The other day while awaiting my turn at a local store's checkout counter my younger daughter came up running to me with a pack of cute rubber squeaky toys... "Can you please buy these for Shakaina? Yesterday she was putting her shoe in her mouth" (Shakaina is a beautiful seven month angel.. one look.. and you are in love with her!)

Just one tiny example, like the other day.. I was a little sad.. Wishing someone hugged me and cheered me up.. and the very next morning in church, our pastor asked us to go around and hug someone. and boy.. I asked for one.. and I got countless, warm, love- filled hugs!





Wow!! I am so blessed!!
